Wanda Diaz Merced is the blind astronomer who listens to the stars

Wanda Diaz Merced is studying the light emitted by Gamma rays, the events with the most energy in the universe. When she lost her vision and had no way of dealing with her science, she had an idea:

The curves of light he could no longer see could be translated into sound. Through the sound system, he took control of it her, and is now fighting for a more open scientific community.Wanda Diaz Merced

"Science is for everyone," she says Wanda Diaz Merced. "It must be available to all because we are all by nature explorers."

Wanda Diaz Merced spoke at TED Talks 2016. Watch the video at the end of the publication.

Η Wanda reports to 10: 13:

I believe that science is for everyone. It belongs to the world, and it should be available to everyone, because we are all explorers by nature. I think that if we limit them with disabilities from taking part in science, we will sever our ties to history and society. I dream of a science field with equal opportunities, where people encourage respect and respect each other, where people exchange strategies and discover together. If we accept people with disabilities into the scientific field there will be an explosion, a titanic flash of knowledge. I'm sure.
